Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Enrico Zini <enr...@debian.org>

* Package name    : pm-utils-light
  Version         : 0.6
  Upstream Author : Enrico Zini <enr...@enricozini.org>
* URL             : http://pkg-fso.nomeata.de/sid/pm-utils-light
* License         : GPL
  Programming Lang: C
  Description     : pm-utils replacement for embedded hardware

 Pros:
 * It tries its best to run hooks in exactly the same way as pm-utils.
 * It's faster
 * It can load hooks from a .so file, which is much faster, avoids
   context switches and allows to keep state conveniently in memory.
 * .so files will be loaded also if they are not executable. Install a
   non-executable .so file to have it loaded by pm-utils light but ignored by
   pm-utils.
 * It allows to cancel a resume, for example in order to go back to sleep in
   case of a resume for usb disconnect.
 .
 Cons:
 * No support for quirks
 * It does not ship the functions and pm-functions shell libraries, so plugins
   cannot make use of them


This is currently available in the pkg-fso repository. It gained a few
users, and I've been asked to upload it to sid.
